Design and Artwork
The Christephania Kipper deck, illustrated by Christiane Neumann, is a unique and imaginative take on the traditional Biedermeier cards. This oracle deck stands out with its unusual collages that transport the user into dream-like sceneries.

The deck’s imagery is both surreal and poetic, providing a fresh perspective on the ancient art of cartomancy.
Symbolism and Interpretation
While retaining the basic meanings of the traditional Kipper cards, this deck invites users to dive into more profound levels of interpretation. The symbolism in each card has been thoughtfully expanded, offering a contemporary and slightly offbeat approach to the classic oracle system.
